First Tide Turning ☠ [action + marauding + voice]

[lists_to_port]

Seems there's types about who'd make the village safe. Police; a village watch. They'll want prisons, next. A gallows.

Rather funny, that, considering the nature of the place, eh?

There's rogues about. Mind that; and if you can't, lock your doors.

[Heeeey there Jack. Might have a new comer walking on down that bridge of yours. Just a shady man with shade goggles and a hoody. Certainly you couldn't rob such a man. But anyway yup just walking. Walkin' my way down town. Walkin' fast something something can't remember the lyrics dodododododo.]

[lists_to_port]

[Well, hullo----a shady man with goggles and a hoody. This clearly spells Marauding Opportunity, or at least Jack needs to satisfy his curiosity. He steps to the center of the bridge, blocking the way.]

Hallo, mate. You're....rather bundled up, today.

[donaldtrumpcard]

[Hmm. Well hi there Jack. He's never spoken to him personally, but he's seen him over the journals here and there.]

It is an outfit I am accustomed to...

[lists_to_port]

You're not....horribly deformed beneath that hood, are you?

[Because, well.....interesting.]

[voice] /grabs up both your characters

[gasconadead]

... a gallows.

[ ... ]

That seems a little macabre, right? Who needs a gallows? This place is just full of upstanding men and women who want to do good, right? What do we need a gallows for anyway? It'd go to waste, nobody using it and all.

[ ... ah ... ahah ... ]

Rogues shmogues. This place is totally safe! [ No it's not Flynn. ]

Exactly! Fully macabre! Fully and unrighteously macabre! We don't need 'em, says I! The pillory were bad enough! Well spoke, sir!

8D PERHAPS TO MAKE UP FOR LOST CR WITH KIRSIKKA. ;~;

[gasconadead]

Right you are! Why, if we're going to have some sort of law around here, then I say we propose a law against gallows! Totally unnecessary. And prisons, for that matter! Who needs 'em, right? I'd've thought the civilized folks around here could do without resorting to such brutal tactics.

I MISS HER. SHE WAS SO AWESOME. <3

[lists_to_port]

I'm.....not certain I want laws against laws. [Because a law is a law is a law, or so says the Bob Loblaw Law Blog.]

But I'd not be against burning a gallows in effigy. Make a statement, like.

[voice]

[lists_to_port]

Well no one's proposed them YET, tiny once-queen, but it's only a matter of time!

[lists_to_port]

Dunno. I wouldn't put it past the man who claimed he was going to steal my ship, love.

...We're not gonna end up with a gallows, Jack.

[ it is, of course, that voice. the slayer -- not buffy summers. never mind that they're really just one and the same. ]

....Buffy. [He recognizes that Voice. And it terrifies him. And he still hasn't made his decision to maraud or not.]

[slaying]

I mean -- think about it. Even if by some insane stretch of the imagination the village at large decided it wanted one...what good what it do? Not a whole lot, considering the revivalism of this place. Not a huge pro in the capital punishment column.

...Don't be angry with me.

[oda_hates_me]

They want a shitty police force on top of all the other groups we got?

[voice]

[lists_to_port]

It's been discussed, mate. Not that I think they'll go through with it, but threats to a man's boat cannot go unanswered. Not here, where there's nowhere to run.

[voice]

[oda_hates_me]

Ah, you're talking about the shitty Marine.

No one's gonna let him take your damn boat.

[voice]

[lists_to_port]

Well of course we're not going to LET him. He won't be allowed to set foot near it, you know.
